Ropinirole immediate release (IR)
"Subjects completing the screening period will be randomized (1:1) to receive the IR or placebo for 12 weeks. The treatment will be started at the initial dose of 0.25 mg/day within 1 to 3 hours before bedtime. The maximum available dose is 3 mg/day. For all subjects completing short-term period and entering the long-term treatment period, the open-label treatment will be started from IR 0.25 mg/ day regardless of dose levels during short-term period. The dose will be upward titrated from 0.25 mg/day to 0.5 mg/day and after that in increments of 0.5 mg/day until sufficient efficacy is obtained (targeting much improved or very much improved in the CGI-I) without safety/tolerability problem."
